ANYONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WE'D BEEN SLAUGHTERED BY ARSENAL.

I see bbc reporting on Dembele and Bonmati winning Balon D’or and Hannah Hampton being voted best goalkeeper in the world.
Funnily enough no mention of Donnarumma actually being the best goalkeeper and winner of the Yashin trophy.
Funny that….wonder why?!

The cunts just cannot bring themselves to write anything that may portray City in a good light. Amazing.

Negative stories get clicks on their page by rival fans. Having said that. When they don’t write anything positive, aren’t most City fans helping revenue by going on their site to find a story.
Like my grandson said. If it gets you angry ignore them completely

I think the media are rattled.

They thought they'd sussed Pep out and could now concentrate on sucking Scouse cock.

Regardless of the result we scared them yesterday.

By the time we play the Scousers that tactic will be honed. The anger and bile coming from the media and Spitty should we win at Klanfield doing it will be epic.

Given we don't play at Anfield until February, we've got plenty of time to perfect our park the bus tactics.

I hope we don't go full Mourinho and do it at home though.

Deary me i see all the usual suspects have gone in with two feet on us.

Not one with any slight bit of football knowledge turned round and said we did better than last year, stopped a very good attacking Arsenal team from creating anything of note and capped off a good week of 3 difficult games in 7 days.

Are we surprised at this negative slant on us?

Nope. It goes to show that we are looking like our menacing selves again and the red cartel media have spotted it.

Fuck em.

From the BBC: Silva, who made 62 appearances for City and Portugal last season, said: "I don't think that they are trying to make us lose a game.

Oh, how wrong can you be, Bernardo! Three games in seven days? Any other Prem team play three in seven?

And we get to four in ten, and then five in thirteen!

 

[cheekybids]

Apparently we’ve never played like this before & yet I immediately thought of fa cup semi finals after tough champions league games 48 hours earlier. Again the fixture list was cruel & we looked jaded & exhausted in both.

 

[its grim up north]

Has it been mentioned about them having towels to wipe the balls I thought that was banned?

Also did anyone notice, about half way through the second half Arteta left his coaching area and ran about 20yds down the touchline, towards our goal, picked up a ball from a cone and gave it to one of his players. Not a word from the referee.

 

[Earlyriser]

I find it indicative of the idiocy in the media that they consistently lambast Amo for failing to adapt his tactical formation or have any form of Plan B yet when Pep changes his formation he is criticised for doing so and accused of being afraid of Arsenal

We did it against rags but thick sods couldn't see it because we won easily
How much possession did we allow rags to have

Newspapers have no place in the 21st century. Nowadays they are about as relevant as the guy that used to light the gas lamps in the street.

I think they supply the same service... gaslighting...

It's not idiocy as such, it's the case for some "journalists" that anything Manchester City = bad. They wouldn't give us praise if we resolved the conflict in Ukraine, sorted out Gaza and solved autism. Oh wait, someone already did the last one.

Not long after booking Pep.

I chose the word in preference to the word bias. I did so because it highlights the total inconsistency in their articles and totally undermines their credibility as either serious journalists or as football analysts

Just wait until Captain Bernardo sees our December fixtures.
7 games 5 of which are away.

We played 3 games in 8 days last week, not 7 (Sunday-Thursday-Sunday).
Liverpool played 3 games in 7 days last week (Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday).

We’ve never played an FA Cup semifinal 48 hours after a CL game.

In another tribute to the granny shagger the BBC Sports website has a feature headed

PlayStation game was key to Man Utd success - Rooney.​

Apparently they played it all the time when they were travelling and helped them communicate more. I wonder how more successful they might have been in they had just tried talking. Anyway it set me wondering if Wayne used Football Manager as his bible and blueprint for success

I think it was what club chairmen must have based their hiring process on for him, there is no other explanation.

Think Rooney is going to reveal some interesting information about the Trafford Tramps, as the new face & poster boy of BBC Football.
As he is supposedly an Everton fan, will he go "full Roy Keane" and drop them in the shite with his Fergie stories ?
